ABSTRACT
It is summer of 2014 and Bopha sits patiently in her home. She is asked about the dark times, about the years of the Khmer Rouge. Between April 1975 and January 1979 Democratic Kampuchea-as Cambodia was renamed-was ruled by the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK; better known as the Khmer Rouge). In less than four years, upwards of two million people died of murder, starvation, disease, and exhaustion. Many millions more were subjected to indiscriminate arrest, detainment, and torture.
